Split this page into two, then deleted the original like a dipshit, so digging through the initial draft to see if I saved it *there.*

In the meanwhile: initial sketch of page 13, which was split into page 7/8/9.

I am a simple soul with simple needs in my preferred characters: pissants and dour stick-in-the-muds, fluffy malicious children, overenthusiastic nerds, and judgemental family matriarchs.

I'd say "pissy family matriarchs", but that's Nana Ogg erasure and I will not allow it.

The only DND things I want are Planescape and Kelemvor related, and tragically, Kelemvor's symbology is just "goth", and Planescape is..

Tried for art-deco at first in my ref pic, and ended up with.. weird evil flesh snake, with a middle portion that looked like "evil cleavage", per Xav. So take two, which is really about take eight, bc I keep eyeing it, sniffing, and then scraping the slate bare to start over.

Waiting for my dyes to come in, waiting for printer ink to come in, waiting for ~*everything*~, it feels like, but I wanted a quick mock-up for my continuing agenda of "but consider: your mask could be your STATEMENT PIECE of your entire outfit", so paper mockup it was.
